[Discussion] I wanted to ask something regarding character appeal to players
##There are certain champions who don't get oftenly picked or played overall. So today I wanted to mention a few champions and ask whether or not you find them appealing, if yes or no, why...?
##
Rek'Sai
Theme
She has a really unique theme, of being this Apex, merciless predator from a rare Void species called Xer'Sai. She is what other people would simply call a "land shark" but instead using water like all sharks do, she burrows herself beneath the ground and stalks her prey from a distance, while using tunnels to maneuver and keep up to the target, and when the time comes strike when they least expect it.
One other thing, she has the tendency to kill anything that moves.
Visuals
She looks absolutely terrifyingly awesome. Visually she looks exactly as you would imagine based off of just the sounds and the theme. She is an Apex predator because she isn't a regular Void based creature, looking at her features such as; her legs, hands, claws, mouth, teeth and everything else you could essentially get the impression that she was born from a combination of features from other Void based creatures.
One more thing to note is that she is actually very huge, much larger than what she is presented like in-game. She's not as huge as someone like Cho'Gath but she is still fairly large, a Rioter called her a "small T-Rex".
Sound
She is also unique because she doesn't speak like any other creature based characters, she makes loud growling/snarling/crackling/roaring/screeching/shrieking noises which can inflict fear for some.
Just listen for yourself...

Gameplay
Gameplay wise, Rek'Sai can seem a bit simplish, most of her abilities consist of her just attacking her target with her claws and biting them for the most part. Which is where I begin to understand why some people might not get naturally attracted to playing her, as most people want to play something that is fun. But her tunnel mechanic, and the tremor sense when she is burrowed along with her ultimate still manage to keep her quite fun and unique, for me atleast.
I was going to do a similar length sized information for other champions, but I realised I didn't have much to say for them or that it would take too long to do each one. So here are the honorable mentions...
Aurelion Sol
Bard
Ivern
Heimerdinger
Malzahar
Ornn
Skarner
Viktor
Varus

Yorick
(literally running is down is just as effective lul)
, they're rewarding to learn because they're atleast meta for more then 2 patches at a given time. That's why you see people playing them and not
can also be one, though her kit feels more like adaptation). Despite all this, I kinda like playing him because his e is strangely satisfying to use.
